Abstract
The present invention can include a speech enrollment system including an ordered stack of grammars and a recognition engine. The ordered stack of grammars can include an application grammars layer, a confusable grammar layer, a personal grammar layer, a phrase enrolled grammar layer, and an enrollment grammar layer. The recognition engine can return recognition results for speech input by processing the input using the ordered stack of grammars. The processing can occur from the topmost layer in the stack to the bottommost layer in the stack. Each layer in the stack can includes exit criteria based upon a defined condition. When the exit criteria is satisfied, a result can be returned based upon that layer and lower layers of the ordered stack can be ignored.
